I really need to check this forum more often. I'm a month late!

I just sent first timer payment, form is incoming. Do I need to print the document, sign it and scan it, or can I just save it as PDF?

Hopefully I'm in.. So now to buy a helmet and figure out how to mount the fire extinguisher I just bought.

Why didn't this fill up on the first day?

Oh I paid full amount & I'm a first timer.

Don't mind paying the full, might be bringing my girlfriend along for some passenger rides, can my extra tenner cover that too?

Yep - I'll make a note.

If you want, fill in the PDF and email it to [email protected] - good enough for me.

Not sure why; maybe a long weekend thing? We usually have pretty good attendance. It's one of the cheapest track days you can get - we've heard from other clubs in other states that they're running these days for > $100 and they fill up instantly... Maybe we're all just tightarses in NSW :P

Yeah, Owen I think your right.

Maybe something for the execs to discuss the calendar. I remember last year one was over the Bathurst weekend. Long weekend doesn't do us an favours.

Well that is fair enough! At the end of the day its an event and we are lucky to have them :yes:

Yep, unfortunately there's very few places anywhere around Sydney to do this type of event - we tried to book around September last year for this year's events, and could only get long weekends, that's how hard it is to get dates (will be looking into booking next year's stuff pretty soon then!).

(incoming explanation/rant)

It sucks, but unfortunately we can only do the best with what we've got. We try and run these events at absolute break even to keep the costs down and attendance high. There was recently an increase in fees for entrants, a small fee for passengers and also costs for food/drink as we can supply; this is because our cost of hiring the venue has gone up by about 30-40% in the last 2 years. We tried to absorb the cost last year by having 40 entrants per day, but it was giving people the shits because people weren't getting enough runs, so we dropped it down to 35 and then 30 (from memory) so that everyone gets heaps of runs, has heaps of fun. It's just unfortunate that we need to charge a little more to break even instead of running at a loss. We'd love to do it, but it's just unsustainable, especially that everyone involved in running the days give their time voluntarily.

Good rant Owen! The venue is good and the costs involved are understandable! I think the pricing is awesome value for the day you get.... I guess a venue like that is pretty hard to find but will keep an eye out ;) Do you know how many spots are booked vs available? I can do some promoting with a few guys that may be keen (Non SAUers)

Will check it out tomorrow night and then PM you - I think we're holding off on saying until there's only a few spots left because of the logistical nightmare of last-minute rushes :)

Fair enough- that's unfortunate. All good points there by Owen too. I think its a great event, the price is very reasonable. I know, as a volunteer, its a hard event to run and keep ticking over. Thank you guys.

And on that note we all have to thank the guys that put their hand up to help out! I remember the last one had the guys running flat out all day in the sun :)

shouldn't be much if any hassle fitting a fire extinguisher.

how is the bottom part of the back seat held down on a v35, is there a bolt?

if not, you can use a simple piece of aluminium between the passenger seat bolts like we did in the leaf.

randy, facewhatnow?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
